BG #22, Sam The Sham & the Pharaohs, The Sit-Ins, 8/10/66, Fillmore; blue & red-orange
poster with photo of Sam in full regalia, and typical early Wes Wilson lettering. I have 2 FIRST
PRINTINGS of this early poster; copy #1 is beautiful and at first glance looks for all the world
like a NM poster; however it was folded in quarters back in ancient times and the fold creases
are visible on the reverse, although they are very hard to spot on the front of the poster, having
been flattened out very effectively over time. Asking $350 for this copy, which on first
examination actually looks like the cleanest of the two. Copy #2 is a standard VG+ copy with
tiny staple holes in the corners outside the margin, asking $375 for this one. (*)

BG #33, Yardbirds, Country Joe & the Fish, 10/23/66, Fillmore; pink and black poster with
classic photo of Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page et al. This is a high-demand image now because of the
Led Zeppelin affiliation first printings go for big $$. I'm pleased to offer a beautiful 2d
printing of this popular image (on uncoated index approximately .0075" thick, per Eric King),
pristine NM, $150.

BG #41, Grateful Dead, Big Mama Thornton, Tim Rose, 12/9-11/66, Fillmore; nice Wes
Wilson image featuring central face in purple/blue and orange and yellow lettering and colors. 3
copies available: #1 is a beautiful FIRST PRINTING that would be flat out NM except for one
minor edge tear at LH center, almost invisible when poster is flattened out, otherwise basically
perfect, no pinholes and bold, bright colors. Asking $375 for this copy, good price for a nice
copy like this. I also have a second printing, beautiful NM copy, nice item for framing if you
don't want to fork out a lot of money for an original, $70. (*)

BG #44, Young Rascals, Sopwith Camel, The Doors, 1/6-7/67, Fillmore; pink and purple
Wes Wilson design; with woman's face in the center and typical Wes Wilson lettering; the
Doors' first performance in San Francisco. Here is a very nice FIRST PRINTING of this
popular and desirable poster, basically NM- with a few minor corner storage marks of no
particular concern, and an almost invisible 5/8" margin tear in the bottom margin. Really a nice
copy, asking $450 (price reduced). Probably the nicest extra copy of this one I've ever had. Note
that I have always had a lot of trouble distinguishing among the various "original" printings of
this poster and frankly I am not sure that there is any particular reason to make the effort since
all 3 of them are now recognized as pre-show "originals" I will, however, guarantee that this is
one of the three original printings and not a post-show reprint. If you want more detailed info on
this one and the printing details are of any concern to you, please ask and I'll try to work it out.
Also available is what I think is a second printing, 13 7/8" x 23 11/16" and exhibits very minor
ink line across the word "tickets" which supposedly means it is a second printing. Nice
NM/NM- copy; $57.50. (*)

No Number, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Service, Country Joe & the Fish, Loading Zone,
2/5/67, Fillmore; benefit (not a Bill Graham show); nice color poster by Gut; yellow, blue, red,
and pink with scroll-type lettering and "turn on" in the center; for illustration, see The Art of
Rock, pl. 2.87; condition NM-, first copy of this one I've had in a long time, and in very nice
shape too, $350.

BG #56, Moby Grape, Chambers Bros., The Charlatans, 3/24-26/67, Fillmore/Winterland;
tiki-like face with typical Wes Wilson lettering and split fountain lettering. Two copies of this
one available, both used. Copy #1 has multiple corner tack holes and a couple of very faint
round stains where someone set a glass of something on them ages ago sounds worse than it is, I
grade it maybe VG overall, asking $45 for this one; Copy #2 would actually be marginally
betrter but for 3 1/4" 1/2" tape pulls in the upper black margin just above the lettering. Asking
$35 for this one. (*)

BG #97, Tim Buckley, Chambers Bros., Mothers of Invention, 12/14-16/67,
Fillmore/Winterland; odd Mouse Studios design with gray border, center collage with skeleton
hand; cool image; this is the Version 2 poster with #97, now described by Eric King as a pre-
show printing and therefore an original. Nice VG+ printing, minor corner pinholes, otherwise
OK. $110.

BG #179, Iron Butterfly, Cold Blood, Sanpaku, 6/24-26/69; Spirit, Lee Michaels, Pyewacket,
6/27-29/67, Fillmore; the second David Singer design with a dark blue border area and center
collage of Christ on the cross in an auto junkyard, with a red/orange sunset behind. Powerful
image. Front beautiful NM, number written on ballpoint on reverse (doesn't show through),
$120; second copy very nice NM-, $110. (*).

BG #183, Ten Years After, Ike & Tina Turner, The Flock, 7/22-24/69; Steve Miller Band,
Albert King, Mountain, 7/25-27/69, Fillmore West; another in the first David Singer collage
series, with a gay border and a center collage of a sea blue hood with old ancient columns, the
US Capitol building, and a statue of Jesus, all where the face would be. NM- copy, front clean,
# written in ink on the back, $100, second copy NM/NM- $110. (*)

BG #199, Led Zeppelin, Bonzo Dog Band, Roland Kirk; 11/6-8/69; Winterland; attractive
red, white, and blue poster by Randy Tuten with striking image of huge Zeppelin in hangar;
lettering in style of riveted metal. The best Zeppelin poster of the series and one of the best
there is, period; scarce and highly sought after. NM- or so with the slightest hint of wear in the
upper LH corner; the upper part of the image is about 1/4" or so off register; asking $850 for this
copy.

BG #248, Santana, Dr. John the Night Tripper, Luther Allison, 9/10-13/70, Fillmore West;
one of the best later Fillmore posters with spectacular artwork by Norman Orr, featuring black
background, accented by brick red--snarling tiger, elephants and other jungle animals, native
drummers, lotsa small symbols and such, the whole thing reeks of voodoo, as it should with this
lineup; one of the best Santana posters ever...not a common one , either; nice NM/NM- copy,
$125.

No #, Eric Burdon & War, Stoneground, the Cockettes, 5/30/1971, Fillmore West; "Goodbye
VD" benefit, large 17" x 21" poster in brown and dayglo orange featuring cartoon character
labeled as "Captain Clap" (I kid you not), pretty weird to say the least. Bursting with good taste.
This was one of the last benefit shows before the Fillmore West shut down and is not easy to
find. Here's a pretty decent VG+ copy for someone looking for EVERYTHING from the
Fillmore. $165.

BG #287, Boz Scaggs, Cold Blood, Flamin' Grooview, Stoneground, It's a Beautiful Day,
Elvin Bishop Group, Grootna, Lamb, Grateful Dead, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Rowan
Brothers, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Hot Tuna, Yogi Phlegm (Sons of Champlin), Santana,
Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tower of Power, others 6/30-7/4/1971, Fillmore West, San
Francisco, concerts for the closing of Fillmore West; large double sized poster in blue, black,
and white by David Singer featuring center collage with cat's eyes and cat dancing atop a
sleeping dog. Classic poster for these famous concerts. The original is on thick stock like other
Fillmore posters, and is very pricy. When the 3-record box set set "Last Days of the Fillmore"
was put out in 1972, it included, among other souvenirs, a reprint of the poster, done on thin
paper and machine folded to fit in the LP box. For collectors who won't or can't shell out the big
bucks for the original, this folded thin paper version is a low cost alternative. Offering one of
these here, has light storage wear on the folds, and some minor paper rippling, folded as issued,
asking $35. Handbill collectors, note that no card was produced for this image.

, Boz Scaggs, 3/8-10/1974, Paramount Theatre, Oakland, CA; "Slow Dancer" premiere (I
was a volunteer usher at this show, no kidding!). Stylish image of Boz dressed in a tuxedo doing
the tango or something with a similarly stylish lady; for illustration, see The Art of Rock,
pl. 4.67. This is a Bill Graham show, this poster is a first printing, the reprinted ones have a
much lighter pink border instead of the darker color that shows on this image (notwithstanding
what one leading overpriced poster website says their illustrations show the differences between
the two printings but identify both of them as firsts sorry guys, there are two distinctive
printings and the darker ones were the ones were the ones given out at the show which I know
for a fact since I was there! The other ones appeared months later.), offering two nice NM
copies of the first version, $50 each. (*)

No. #, Boz Scaggs, 12/29-31/1975 (New Years' Eve), Paramount Theater, Oakland, CA; not
sure whether or not this was a Bill Graham show or not; quite probably not, since it does not
have the "Bill Graham Presents" logo at the top. It is 17.5" x 24" on thick poster stock; features
a nice photo of a woman (actually Boz' wife Carmela) looking in a mirror to do the finishing
touches on her makeup, while in the mirror reflection a dude with a hairy chest (Boz himself?)
fumbles with a cufflink on his unbuttoned tuxedo, with a couple of tix to the show clipped to the
mirror these folks are getting ready to go "steppin out." Kind of a nice image from Boz' "high
society" period in SF. Nice NM- copy, $60.

Bill Graham Presents, calendar 1979, given out as a gift/promo item by BGP; neat calendar
that has photos, important dates and events in the history of BGP, size approximately 8.5" x 11,
spiral bound, on standard calendar card stock. A really neat piece of Bill Graham ephemera for
the Fillmore poster collector who has almost everything. NM- copy with minor wear, $30.
